Ahhhh this is a whole new can of worms. I have a personal anecdote about the educational indoctrination issue as well: I transferred colleges between 2nd and 3rd year. My new university's registration system would not allow me to register for classes until I'd completed their "Cultural Inclusivity Module". This was about 6 hours of clicking through a pretty (but disfunctional) web app which would have you read several pages, then ask you 10 questions. If you missed more than one, it would put you back on the first page, forcing you to do a minimum timed rereading of the content. The module was entirely fluff about how I am not allowed to perform microagressions against cultural ideas that I disagree with, even if they are despicable. It was full of factual errors, incomplete sentences and ideas, and the best of all, sometimes at the end of a section when I went to submit my answers, the submit button would be grayed out, forcing me to go through the mind fucking content again. I ended up refusing to do it, had a conference with the dean where I explained that no where in my obligations to the school did I agree to perform classes for no credit, against my will, while paying for them. Twas quite a time to be alive!
